Having achieved medical center status is not an end in itself. Mackay Memorial Hospital must press on to continue improving our teaching, research and medical care.

A new acutecare building in Tamshui was established in 2007 and named “Mackay Tower”. Located along the river in a garden-like setting, it is designed to provide state-of-the-art emergency facilities for the benefit of our patients and to enhance the training of medical students.

The digital storage system project （PACS） for radiologic images improve access and safe storage space was completed in 2007, under the superintendent Dr. CH Tsai. It provide efficient transmission of images among all of our branch hospitals.

The extended sixth floor to the Taitung hospital and the second building in Hsinchu branch hospital had been completed this years to enhance their role as a major regional teaching hospital. We will continue to support our mission outreach to the Akah tribe in north Thailand, with an emphasis on community health development and the training of evangelists. We hope to send short-term medical evangelism teams to assist in this work. We will also keep surpporting the Mackay Medical College.

 Regardless of the specific projects and activities we pursue, it is our desire to maintain our concern for the whole person. We will continue investing in our staff and students with the goal of providing excellent care with compassion to our patients in the spirit of Christ.
